2 c. heavy cream
2 c. milk
3 strips orange peel
3 to 4 slices day old French bread
Butter
6 egg yolks
3 whole eggs
1/2 c. sugar
3 tbsp. Grand Marnier

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, heat the cream, milk and orange peel to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Beat eggs, yolks and sugar to light lemon color. Add Grand Marnier and slowly add the cream mixture and blend. Remove orange peel and pour custard into a 2 quart baking dish. Trim crust from bread and butter one side. Float the bread, buttered side up on top of the custard.

Place the dish in a larger pan and pour boiling water half way up the sides. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean. Best served slightly warm.
